Just as a practical thought, which are cheaper and easyer to get? 12 inch tyres or 10inch tyres?
And are the options for tyres in 10inch the same as 12 or are there less?

I am considering 10's now ive found some wellers that might be for sale, but dont want to do it if good tyres are more difficult to get hold of compared to 12's.

thats because the only cars on the road with those particular sizes are minis, and most tyre places rarely see any minis in for tyres.

[Burnard]

so getting either is just as difficult then.

What about the tyre options?
and what are the best tyres that are relativly accessable for 10's? (other than A032's)

[Asphalt]

As far as I know:

10s:
Yokohama A008, 165/70R10 (best value for money, imo)
Falken FK-07E, 165/70R10 (cheap by all means )
Dunlop Sport/Aquajet, 165/70R10 (divided opinions...)
Yokohama A032R, 165/70R10
Falken SN-807 145/80R10
Kumho 758 - 145/80R10
Dunlop SP Sport Aquajet, 145/80R10

12s:
Yokohama A048, 165/55R12
Falken FK-06G, 165/60R12
Falken ZIEX ZE-912, 165/60R12
Yokohama A539, 165/60R12

no clue about 145 12" tyres... But probably more than 10"s...

[Burnard]

So what gives the best handeling.

wet?
dry?
all rounder?


I want to make sure i get it right.

Thanks
